My HHR suspension

The rough suspension on my HHR is killing my back. How can I change the suspension on my HHR for a sm,oother one?

What model HHR do you have again Ben?

If you have an LT for example with the 17" rims you can go down to a 16" or even a 15" rims with higher profile tires, those tires will have a softer ride due to their more complaint sidewalls.

Check your Tires Air Pressure! Starting with say 28lbs instead of say 32lbs. could soften your ride considerably

Yep. Tires and pressures first. It could even be a free modification!

wow I was just thinking on how I can make my HHR ride a little firmer. I don't really like the Cadillac ride from my LS FE1. I am going to order SS shocks, struts and springs within the next month. Tried to buy some SS wheels from craigslist here in Detroit but the guy backed out. I just want my HHR to handle a little better.
